It is stated by a correspondent of the Penn. In("!iwr,!hathe (the correspondent) visited t'.e Pies-iJ-nt of the U.

Xort disastrous news from Florida. We regret tsu necessity of giving our readers the details of more disastrous and bloody massacres in Florida, bv the Indians. Our Government is abundantly able, and a sufficiency of idle soldiery on pay, to lure put this war to end months since, had a sufntioat force been ordered there at the first commencement of the war, instead of sending mere Undfulsof men at time, to be massacred and Mfferthe defenceless inhabitants, women and childwi, to be inhumanly butchered. Hut the following may not be true, as it comes to us as a retort: The Savannah Georgian of May 9, says: "The :eam packet Florida, Capt. Hubbard, arrived yesterday afternoon from Picolata, ria. Jacksonville. We learn that it is reported at Jacksonville that a large body of Indians had etorir.ed the formation thrown up by Captain MeLernore, on the W ithlacoochee and massacred the garrison of forty f and their gallant commander. Major Cooper of Putnam had been cent, it is "id, from Fort Drane, with the Battalion from this State under his command, to the point on the 'itLkcoochee, which Capt. McL. occupied, to ascertain the fact. We trust that thev will find those W men in safety, but we fear the' result of their ffcornoisance."

Parlicvfors 0 the capture cf Santa Anna. During the night of the 20th ult., after the, skirmish between the Mexicans and Texian forces, Gen. Houston made a movement with COO men and all his artillery, and at day break met the Mexican force 1 100 or 1200 strong, also in movement, and gained position within rifle distance of the enemy, before they w ere aware of his presence. Two discharges of small arms, and cannon loaded with musket balls, settled the affair; the Mexican soldiers threw down their arms, most of them without firing, and begged for quarter, f00 or 700 killed.
